But of deriving of directions from the shape of a track have a disadvantage it is not aware of underlating road network. If there is a 10 long winding road, you can get dozens of direction hints without passing any crossroad/junction.
If GPX track is generated by direction aware routing service ( like BRouter Android app , BRouer-web or online MapQuest(in Locus), directions stored in GPX ( or in internal track from MQ saved by Locus ) are aware of road network. Therefore you get directions only in places of course choices, and not even at every place. E.g. If you go along tertiary road, turning right, you will not get hint to turn right, if straight ahead is a residental road. Unless you are to follow that residental one. In such a case you got a hint to go straight ahead. Sure, this does not apply in off-road scenario across free terrain, without suitable OSM ways.
